Why do windows have two panes of glass separated by a layer of air

1 answer:

7 0

Air is a poor conductor of heat. The air trapped between the two panes is a pretty good <em>insulator</em>. It does a lot to prevent heat from flowing through the windows ... keeping heat IN during the Winter, and OUT during the Summer.

Where are bar magnets the strongest?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The magnetic field is strongest at the center and weakest between the two poles just outside the bar magnet. The magnetic field lines are densest at the center and least dense between the two poles just outside the bar magnet.

A sound wave traveling through dry air has a frequency of 15 Hz, a

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is denoted by:

v=fλ

where f is the frequency which is unchanged 15Hz and λ is the new wavelength which is 28m

v=fλ

$v=15(28)\\v=420m/s$

Quantum mechanics can be thought of as a ...

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

c. probablistic view of nature.

Explanation:

According to the problem of particle in a box in one dimension. If the particle energy E is taken less than the height of the barrier V.

Then with the help of classical mechanics it can be prove that the particle can not cross the barrier but according to the quantum mechanics, there is a small but a finite probability to cross the barrier.

Therefore by the above discussion it can be concluded that quantum mechanics can be thought as a probablistic view of nature.

The siren on an ambulance emits a sound of frequency 2.80×103Hz. If the ambulance is traveling at 26.0 m/s (93.6 km/h or 58.2 mi

Norma-Jean [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the described wavelength through frequency and speed. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Where,

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

f = Frequency

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

$f = 2.8*10^3Hz$

$v = 340m/s \rightarrow$ Speed of sound

Keep in mind that we do not use the travel speed of the ambulance because we are in front of it. In case it approached or moved away we should use the concepts related to the Doppler effect:

Replacing we have,

$\lambda = \frac{340}{2.8*10^3}$

$\lambda = 0.1214m$

Therefore the frequency that you hear if you are standing in from of the ambulance is 0.1214m
